Five short months ago as I was heading into back surgery, I wondered if I was really going to be able to climb the Great Wall. I had such a hard time walking let alone climbing stairs and steep walkways. I had great pain with every step I took or even standing. Everything I did took great effort and concentration to physically make my body perform even when it wasn’t willing. But Dr. Hsiang assured me that I would be ready to go. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could do some of the things I have done since the surgery. I CLIMBED THE GREAT WALL!
As I write this tears are in my eyes. I have my life back. No, everything isn’t perfect and I still get really tired after these exhausting excursion days, but who wouldn’t? I am so thankful to my surgeon and his team for performing a successful surgery. But most importantly I couldn’t have done any of this without the help and support of the most wonderful man a woman could have – my husband, Michael. As I reflect on this latest adventure, I am overcome with emotion. I have been around the world, and seen and done so many incredible places and things. What a charmed and lucky life I lead.
So stay tuned. Who knows what will be coming this way.
